I think for one thing, access to the Internet provides the truth - most parents have no free time, are broke and unhappy. When asking someone in person you'll get a different story about how "they wouldn't change a thing"
Free porn, higher food and housing cost relative to income play a roll too.
Another thing, there's so many more fun things to do from fun cars to afforable air travel (relative to income) even video games. I have a few relatives in their baby making years who don't leave their xbox.
